Dave,

See if this makes sense to you, from the Kaye tester's operating manual: "The feature that sets this tube checker apart is the ability to listen to noise and microphonics while the tube is functioning in the typical class A circuit. You can perform noise and microphonic evaluation, test the gain of the tube in the circuit and compare and match tubes. Maximum output before clipping is tested."
Yep, that works for me. That's what the VTV unit does except for testing the clipping point. The Amplitrex can be programmed to do a similar test and much more (as well as listening to a tube). And the Maxi gives a readout of actual noise voltage in db below .775 volts across the audio band as well as letting you listen to the tube. So you and I agree - it's GREAT to have test gear that does something useful!
Now, since you've read the book, see if you can't find posts that give you a chance to apply what you read - or a reason to go back and re-read it. Watch how much you pick up!!
